Are there advantages in choosing particular types of investment services?If you or your adviser chooses a platform, broker or investment manager which reports transactions to us electronically in a way which updates our systems automatically (in other words, if they are an e-investment affiliate), no transaction fees will apply.

Retaining SIPP funds in cashYou may decide to retain your SIPP funds in whole or in part in cash, in which case your funds will remain in your SIPP bank account earning interest.
